Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I use a password manager…. Generate a random string at 36 characters and then back off to whatever they’ll accept.
The number of idiots forcing less than 24 characters for things like that's… way too damn high. (Probably preaching to the choir here but there was an issue with windows screwing with the encryption or something “requiring” 24 instead of 12.)
Sometimes banks ask me my answer to security questions. This ever happen to you?
Yep and I just give them the long random string. They don’t care.
You… go into a bank?
For what?!
I could always show them my id or something. You know, the same one I showed to get the account.
I've been asked my answer for security questions on the phone.
